Grilled Steak With Tomatoes, Red Onion and Balsamic
Description
Grilled Steak With Tomatoes, Red Onion and Balsamic features a sturdy cut of flank or London broil steak that is pierced to allow seasoning to penetrate, then seasoned generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. After resting at room temperature, the steak is grilled on high heat, achieving a flavorful char and tender medium rare center. Cooling briefly allows juices to redistribute before slicing thinly on the diagonal.
The tomato topping is made by soaking red onion in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper, softening its sharpness and intensifying flavor. This mixture is combined with chopped tomatoes and fresh herbs like oregano or basil, adding a refreshing contrast to the grilled meat with tangy and herbaceous notes.
This dish works well as a main course for dinner or a weekend meal where the grilled steak's hearty texture and smoky flavor are complemented by the bright freshness of the tomato relish. The steak slices with the dressing spooned over provide a satisfying contrast between rich meat and a crisp, acidic salad.
